Get Well Soon

Filed under: Anglophilia > Film Flickers

Dame Maggie Smith, Professor McGongall in the Harry Potter films, is fighting a battle with breast cancer, it has been revealed today.

The brave Oscar winner is said to have insisted on going ahead with filming the latest installment of Potter last month, even though she was undergoing radiation therapy at the time.

Our thoughts are with Dame Maggie.

Hoping she is cancer free soon!

    … my ass; Miss Jean Brodie to you, Perez. Perez-fans, check out Dame Smith in "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie." Stellar performance–and shows you just why most actresses today are WAY overrated! My love and heartfelt wishes go out to you, Dame Smith!

    #28 - I loved her in that movie.
    She has been fantastic in everything she has done.
    When I was reading the last Harry Potter books, I kept seeing her as Professor McGonagall - she is that good she becomes the character and ceased to be Maggie Smith. Love her, love her, love her.
